Kenya's vulnerability to climate change poses a challenge to the resource-intensive nature of the horticultural processing industry.
Additionally, small-scale farmers face challenges such as input supply, capacity challenges, compliance with regulatory and market requirements, limited access to finance, lack of market access, market information and stiff competition.
Speaking during a stakeholder workshop for the New Export Trade (NExT) Kenya Programme closure, Principal Secretary, State Department for Agriculture Dr.
Kipronoh Ronoh said despite the horticulture sector being one of the fastest-growing subsectors in the country, there is a need to address market access, sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) requirements, and the need for infrastructure improvements.
